GAMA/H-ATLAS: The Local Dust Mass Function and Cosmic Density as a Function of Galaxy Type - A Benchmark for Models of Galaxy Evolution
(2018-09-01)
We present the dust mass function (DMF) of 15 750 galaxies with redshift z <0.1, drawn from the overlapping area of the GAMA and H-ATLAS surveys. The DMF is derived using the density corrected V max method, wherewe estimate ...
Red, redder, reddest : SCUBA-2 imaging of colour-selected Herschel sources
(2018-06-11)
High-redshift, luminous, dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) constrain the extremity of galaxy formation theories. The most extreme are discovered through follow-up on candidates in large area surveys. Here, we present ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Revealing dust build-up and decline across gas, dust and stellar mass selected samples: I. Scaling relations
(2017-02-01)
We present a study of the dust, stars and atomic gas (HI) in an HI-selected sample of local galaxies (z 80 per cent), low stellar mass sources that appear to be in the earliest stages of their evolution. We compare this ...
The space density of luminous dusty star-forming galaxies at $z>4$ : SCUBA-2 and LABOCA imaging of ultrared galaxies from $Herschel$-ATLAS
(2016-11-18)
Until recently, only a handful of dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) were known at $z>4$, most of them significantly amplified by gravitational lensing. Here, we have increased the number of such DSFGs substantially, ...
LOFAR/H-ATLAS: A deep low-frequency survey of the Herschel-ATLAS North Galactic Pole field
(2016-10-21)
We present LOFAR High-Band Array (HBA) observations of the Herschel-ATLAS North Galactic Pole survey area. The survey we have carried out, consisting of four pointings covering around 142 square degrees of sky in the ...
SPIRE imaging of M 82 : Cool dust in the wind and tidal streams
(2010-07-01)
M 82 is a unique representative of a whole class of galaxies, starbursts with superwinds, in the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey with Herschel. In addition, its interaction with the M 81 group has stripped a significant portion ...
Mapping the interstellar medium in galaxies with Herschel/SPIRE
(2010-07-01)
The standard method of mapping the interstellar medium in a galaxy, by observing the molecular gas in the CO 1-0 line and the atomic gas in the 21-cm line, is largely limited with current telescopes to galaxies in the ...
Probing the molecular interstellar medium of M82 with Herschel-SPIRE spectroscopy
(2010-07-01)
We present the observations of the starburst galaxy M82 taken with the Herschel SPIRE Fourier-transform spectrometer. The spectrum (194–671 μm) shows a prominent CO rotational ladder from J = 4–3 to 13–12 emitted by the ...
The central region of spiral galaxies as seen by Herschel. M 81, M 99, and M 100
(2010-07-01)
With appropriate spatial resolution, images of spiral galaxies in thermal infrared (~10 micron and beyond) often reveal a bright central component, distinct from the stellar bulge, superimposed on a disk with prominent ...
Herschel photometric observations of the low metallicity dwarf galaxy NGC 1705
(2010-07-01)
We present Herschel SPIRE and PACS photometeric observations of the low metallicity (Z ~ 0.35ΖΘ ) nearby dwarf galaxy, NGC 1705, in six wavelength bands as part of the Dwarf Galaxy Survey guaranteed time Herschel key ...
